The guy is in his 20s! A settlement is totally ridiculous 0 unless he has a uber-rich family and drives around in a Ferrari.

Defendant has an opportunity to reduce the amount payable to Plaintiff if Defendant ceases any further content theft (whether the Plaintiffís content or anyone elses), and if he makes regular payments toward the judgment on a schedule which will be agreed upon between the parties in a separate settlement agreement.
the real settlement exists in a hidden side agreement

this is just the puffery done to get press for the settlement, he is never going to pay 250k
the hidden deal is what is real, it probably some insanely small deal less than the cost of getting a lawyer, just so that the fake news story about the huge settlement could be shown to the world.
